I'm at ICAST in Orlando Florida this week...and Hobie has a Big Surprise on Wednesday at 10am...I'm in the Promar AHI booth and we are right next to Morgan, Kevin and the Hobie booth.
There is a big press release event planned for Wednesday...??????
What could it be...?.....we'll see on Wednesday morning...!
I'm sure somebody will post up a review...if they don't I'll fill you in on what's new...!

I just happen to be in Orlando for my daughter's softball tournament, so I really want to go to ICAST. I thought it was open to the public starting on the 13th, but others are saying it isn't.

Can you please clarify for me?

Thanks!

John

I hear it has a drone landing pad and a big screen HDTV for the display for the FF.

Looks like we may need to buy a whole new drive? Either way a welcome upgrade and game changer..

More moving parts? I dont know, Im skeptical. Im not sure there has ever been a time I actually wanted reverse to be honest. Maybe because I dont fish bays and harbors much, mostly open water.

Me too, but I don't really need it where I fish. Maybe it is different in lakes, streams and rivers.

I'm with YakDoubt regarding durability. Whenever I see more moving parts (or more electronics, etc., for that matter), it makes me wonder how long it will last before breaking. I hope I'm wrong, though.

I do like thinking about the possibilities of the new 180 though. The question is, can it stop a YT in its tracks? Ha!

Would love to troll backwards though. That's be sick :)!
